Henceforth aware of the stakes that represent the Android ecosystem for its solutions and services, ThurayaTelecommunications Company, with this release has demonstrated its ability to deliver market-driven products to reach even more end-users.

If unfamiliar, Connectikpeople.co recalls that, Thuraya Telecommunications Company is a Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) operator. The new Thuraya SatSleeve designed for Android-based smartphones is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4. Meaning that, the new game-changing product allows Samsung Galaxy users to turn their own smartphone into a satellite phone to make phone calls, send SMS messages and access apps via Thuraya’s satellite network when they are unable to connect to a

terrestrial GSM network.

Connectikpeople.co has also observed that, the Thuraya SatSleeve eliminates the need for carrying a separate satellite phone. You only need to dock your Android smartphone into the Thuraya SatSleeve and operate it normally via the Thuraya Satellite network. Its built-in SOS button allows users to call one predefined number even without their smartphone attached.

The Thuraya SatSleeve for Android is available from all Thuraya Service Partners since January 15, 2014.
